On Monday’s CBS ‘Late Show’ David Beckham explains to host James Corden the perils of having a teenage son.

Beckham said about Brooklyn Beckham...”You know what kids are like! They want new soccer boots. They want new sneakers. It came to the point where turned 14 and I thought, ‘If you want something then go and work, and then you’ve got your own money. Much to his dismay we packed him off to the French café and he works there every Saturday and Sunday for a few hours.He gets his own pocket money.”

The soccer star continued...”He’s gonna hate me for this, but yeah. On his first date, which he was about 14 and a half, Victoria was actually in London. It was Valentine’s Day and he said, ‘I’d love to take this girl to dinner.’ I said, ‘OK, great.’ I spoke to Victoria and she was like, ‘Really?’ I said, ‘Yeah, he’s going to do it.’ She said, ‘OK. Make sure you take him and make sure you sit in the restaurant.’ I was like, ‘Really? You’re gonna make me do that? She said, ‘Yep. That’s the only way I’m going to let him go.’ So we took him to a small sushi restaurant and he sat at the sushi bar and I sat about five tables back.”

“My daughter [Harper Beckham] is 4 years old. When she gets to that age, I will be closer than that!”
